No demonic force—not even slavery—can stop God from doing his work in the souls of his chosen ones.

– Dr. Barbara L. Peacock, Soul Care in African American Practice (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2020).

In this lesson, you learned how to…

  1. Apply the ACTS model of prayer to your prayer life.
  2. Define the steps of lectio divina.
  3. Practice lectio divina on your own or in a group.

Continue to Lesson 3: Spiritual Direction and Soul Care in African American Practice where Dr. Peacock reviews prayer and spiritual direction through the lives of Dr. Darrell Griffin and Dr. Jessica Ingram. Through these leaders we learn how prayer is a means of communication that impacts our spiritual direction and our relationship with God.
